385351 2005-09-02 05:49:00 Anyone know anything about this test? I got a score of only 1500 and a lot of the test programs were funning at only 1 fps. Seems a bit queer.

In the 03 test I score around the 6000 mark.

385352 2005-09-02 06:01:00 as i have said 3 times in the past, publish your result, this will add you to the futuremark database and you can compare your score on each test with identical systems, Thus giving you the enlightenment you crave.

385354 2005-09-02 06:05:00 I read somewhere (can't remember if it was online or in one of the mags) that the latest 3DMark (05) was way more intensive on graphix cards and memory than previous versions. That may explain your scores Myth (110)

Each new generation of 3dmark has to be a huge step up in requirments, its very purpose is to still be a vaible test in the months leading up to the next 3dmark release.

Meaning the current release will kill last generation cards,seriously maim current midrange cards, and give a hella good beating to current and next generation high end cards.

You care or you wouldn't have bothered. :-)
I got 6137.
And yes, it is very graphics intensive. You can't run it at all on a 4xxx card. Although thats mainly cause they didn't build in any support for them on this version.
Its very pretty to watch though.
I did it twice, once on this card and once on my previous card and what I did notice was there was a lot more detail with my current card - which I thought mattered more than its score.

385359 2005-09-02 09:16:00 Benechmarks are a way to see were your at and to keep you upgrading your computer and also people like to keep up or be better then others and it gets to be a bit of a compitition to see who has the best computer score. :thumbs:

Hardwaer sales increase accordingly and so its good for the industry as it keeps people upgrading more often. :D

Who knows the industry maybe secretly behind these benechmarks or encourage them as they know it makes people spend money upgrading there computers and this helps them to keep/increase sales of there products.
